Easy troubleshooting steps to resolve issues:

Step 1: Update BIOS on both Motherboard and GPU

Update to the newest firmware / BIOS / software for the motherboard and GPU. The newest update can be obtained ‘s website.

Step 2: Set BIOS to optimal default

Overclocking is the main reason for the system to become unstable in Gen 4 setting. Reset BIOS to optimal default may resolve the issue and allow the system to run under Gen 4 without issue.

Step 3: Try to boot without the riser cable

Make sure the system can boot properly without the riser cable.

Step 4: Clean the connector contacts on the riser cable and GPU

Cleaning the connector contact (Gold Fingers) on both GPU and riser cable with rubbing alcohol to remove possible particle build-up.

Step 5: Ensure the cable is fully and securely inserted into the socket

Please make sure the male connector (Gold Fingers) is fully inserted into the motherboard’s PCIe socket. Our riser has a very short pin designed to provide better insertion loss. The pins may not be in full contact with the PCIe socket pins resulting in signal lanes drop from x16 to x8, or worse at x4 speed. Make sure you choose the right length cables. Too long or too short may both result in performance loss.

Step 6: Try a different PCI-e slot (Always choose the PCIe slot closest to the CPU)

If the motherboard has multiple Gen 4 PCIe slots, try to install the cable on a different slot.

Step 7: I have done all of the above and I’m still having trouble with the riser cable

PCI-E specifications do not regulate the use of a riser cable. As a result, Gen 4 motherboards are designed to connect the GPU directly. Hence leave a limited headroom for the use of a riser cable, and the use of a riser cable may fail when the insertion loss is over the limits due to poor components used in motherboards. Not all motherboards and GPUs are manufactured to the same quality, some have higher headroom than the other.

In these rare cases, the easiest ways to resolve the problem are:

  1. Exchange another riser cable to try. (If shorter length works, always choose a shorter length)
  2. Exchange another motherboard of the same brand.
  3. Exchange motherboard for a different brand. (99% of the customers have completely resolved the issue at this point)
  4. If none of these works, please get in touch with us directly and provide us with your system information (model/make of MB, CPU, GPU, PC case). We are happy to provide a solution.

*Please do not allow cable to directly touch the backplate of GPU which may generate temperatures higher than the riser cables’ maximum operating temperature of 75 degrees celsius. If direct contact is unavoidable, applying thermal tape is strongly recommended

    Lo tengo instalado con una 6900XT y muy gratamente sorprendido. Instalado sin problemas, funcionando desde el primer momento y sin bajones de rendimiento.

    Despus de leer muchas reseas de este cable tena mis dudas, pero llevo ya ms de un mes con l, usando el ordenador con la grfica dndolo todo y ni se inmuta.

    Un descubrimiento esta marca, algo caro el cable para mi gusto, pero funciona correctamente. La nica alternativa que he encontrado mientras los fabricantes de cajas no se pongan las pilas.

    Recently switched from Intel to Amd. Had to pair my new 5950x and rtx 3090 with this riser cable for Pcie gen 4. Checked on GPUZ definitely picking up as Pcie gen4. Only tested warzone atm as it I only got the card yesterday was a stable 250fps Will have to do more testing using a benchmark.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersTenis que tener en cuenta que puede que algn cable salga defectuoso, hay gente que le da pantallazos y puede ser por 2 cosas:
    1- una que no quede bien encajado en el slot y quede algo suelto por poco que sea. Por lo que a veces pueda desplazarse 1 mm y con eso ya te daria pantallazo bsod, verificad que est bien fuerte y no se vaya a mover ni est forzado o medio doblado, tiene que hacer “click” por ambos sitios.
    2- Que por mala suerte os haya salido defectuoso, devolverlo por otro y probad.

    Y una cosa importante sobre la longitud, yo ped el de 25cm porque con eso me sobraba, y resulta que en la informacin no cuentan la longitud total con los slots, sino solo la del cable, por lo que el cable es mas largo de lo que ponen, en total 5cm mas (30cm).
    Asi que aadir 5cm mas a cada modelo de la web, si necesitais por ejemplo 25cm en total, pedir el de 20cm.

    This works great for my vertical mount. I did have to move the gpu as far up the mount as possible for it to plug into my top pci slot. The ek ribbon that came with my mount was significantly longer, but alas only pci 3.0. No problems once I booted and benchmarked.

    Works as advertised. Pc and 3070 recognizes pcie 4.0 and no issues with quite a few hours in game and some 3dmark runs as well. Only con would be i went with the recommended size for my case listed and length seems pretty overkill but not a huge issue.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our Users06-2021 hier bei amazon-Deutschland via “LINKUP Technology Inc”, fr 80,96 gekauft.

    Habe es in der 20 cm sowie rechtwinkelig gekauft.

    Ich hatte in einem alten System mal ein Marken-Riser-Kabel mit PCIe 3.0, aus optischen Grnden verbaut.
    Nun steht demnchst der Einbau einer Customwasserkhlung an und auch hier wieder aus optischen Grnden, musste ein Riser-Kabel fr das Hockkante-Mounting, her.
    Meine Herausforderung war ein Riserkabel zu finden welches PCIe 4.0 x16 bringt.
    Und genau bei diesem Kabel hier gehen auch im Netz die Meinungen sehr auseinander, sodass ich glaube ggf. Montagsmodelle unterwegs zu sein, aber auch viele Nutzer die sich vl nicht auskennen und direkt losbeschweren.
    Auch ist es logisch, je lnger ein Kabel, desto..naja…kann auf dem Weg fr Daten …blubb, usw.
    Meine Meinung.

    In folgende Specs ist nun das Riserkabel ( 20 cm; rechtinkelig ) verbaut:
    Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero zu nVidia RTX 3090 (MSi Gaming x Trio).
    Nice to know, Festplatten sind zur u.a. Hauptnutzung an PCIe 4.0 angebunden.
    AMD Ryzen 9 5950x 64 GB RAM.
    Resizebal Bar ist ber das derzeit neuestes BIOS (3601) ebenfalls aktiviert.
    Ich hatte vorher wie nachher bei 3D Mark PCIe-Test einen Durchsatz von 26,30 GB/s.
    Das gesamte System ist weder bertaktet noch sonst irgendwelchen Spielereien ausgesetzt und brachte daher im 3D Mark 18.520 Punkte (vorher wie nachher….mit nicht erwhnenswerten Punkteunterschieden).
    CPU-Z wie auch im Bios wird x16 native angegeben (vorher wie nachher).
    Bei GPU-Z wird whrend und auch im Anschluss des Rendertests “PCIe x16 4.0 @ x 16 4.0” angezeigt. (Das Fragezeichen hinter der Zeile bei dem beigefgten Bild steht fr die Erklrung des Rendertests;)

    Alles in Allem funktionieren die angegebenen Leistungen dieses Kabels bei mir.

    Sternabzug:
    3 von 5 bei Qualitt/Haltbarkeit, aufgrund der “ausenherum-Verarbeitungsqualitt”. Die untere Platine auf der der GPU-Anschluss sitzt, neigt sehr schnell zum Durchdrcken bzw. biegen im rechten unteren Bereich richtung Clipser/Anschluss/Sicherung der GPU.. Also Vorsicht bei der Montage.
    Auch das andere Ende, welches im Mainboard steckt, kann und ist mir passierrt (=VGA-Fehler beim Hoch fahren), rutscht gerne bei leichtem Kontakt an der Gehuserckseitigen Seite (die ohne Clipser), wieder heraus. Nicht von alleine, jedoch bei ungewolltem Kontakt.
    Hier hatte ich schon deutlich hochwertiger verarbeitete Riserkabel von anderen Herstellern in der Hand.
    Die Pins, wie auch die Kabel selbst und die Kabel an Bauteilen-montage ist mehr als ausreichend und gut zusammengesetzt.

    Preis-Leistungsverhltnis, ebenfalls 3 von 5 Sternen.
    Fr einen stolzen Preis von 80 + erhlt man hier NUR das Kabel mit seinen Transportschutz-Plaste-Abdeckungen und einen auf englisch geschriebenen kleinen Hinweiszettel.

    Es liegen KEINE Schrauben, geschweige den Abstandshalterungen mit bei. Was auch im Verkaufstext nicht erwhnt wird. Aber bei den obig genannten kleinen Abstrichen und mit dieser Tatsache……na ja.

    Ich wollte die Abstandsschrauben vom Case (Asus Helios), verwenden, doch diese sind viel zu kurz. Auch extre hinzugekaufte waren zu kurz bzw. hatten ein kleineres Gewinde.

    Somit wird die GPU von zwei Schrauben am Gehuse in der vertikalen und …man mag es kaum glauben aber passt von der Hhe perfekt!, von LE..*darf ich das hier berhaupt schreiben*^^…also von Klemmbausteinen gehalten….*grbel*…nenn L..Klemmbausteine-PC….

    Alles in Allem wrde ich 3 von 5 Sternen geben ABER aufgrunddessen das ich endlich ein FUNKTIONIERENDES PCIe 4.0 x16 Riser-Kabel verbauen konnte = 4 Sterne von mir.

    PCIe 4.0 x 16 funktioniert, aber... [hier in 20cm-rechtwinkeliger-Variante]

    It works with 6800XT, B550 and 5900X.

    Cons for me:
    – Does not fit to Cooler Master VERTICAL GPU HOLDER KIT VER.2!!! Screw holes do not match. Without modifying riser pcb or vertical mount it can only be mounted with 1 screw. So before buy make sure it fits to your mount. (screw holes will match, but then the pcie slot itself is not in line with GPU, mismatch around 2-3mm)
    – with that price it should have pcie slot with metal shielding.

    Other than that it works 🙂

    Same size as the original cable in the Shift 2 Air but a tiny bit longer. (Which is good)

    Das Kabel macht eine sehr guten und Wertungen Eindruck. Ich habe es mir fr die vertikale Montage meiner GPU gekauft, allerdings ist es leider etwas zu kurz und selbst in der richtigen Lnge wre eine Installation unmglich, da beide Enden flach sind. Fr meinen Einsatzzwecke bruchte ich daher ein lngeres Kabel, das auf einer Seite im 90 Grad Winkel gestaltet ist.
    Versand war wie gewohnt super. Gibt jedoch nur” 4 Sterne, da die Verpackung der Kabel schon deutlich mitgenommen aussah.

    This riser costs more than some of the other ones for a reason, it just works. After messing around with a couple of other risers, this one works without problems.

    The only issue I encountered was fixed by reseating the cable in the motherboard and video card.

    If your looking for a riser that will work reliably with a pcie 4.0 card this is the one

    Giving 5 stars because it works perfectly. The only thing( which is of course my fault) if you are buying it to upgrade from the riser of phanteks for the vertical mount buy the 15 cm version as i got the 20 cm linkup thinking that the phanteks is 22cm( as they say in specs) in fact phanteks one is 17cm.

    It work’s great for my 16x gen4 card and my z590 motherboard also works okay with a phanteks evolv x case. The pcb could be a little stronger it feels flimsy so don’t put much pressure take your time and it should work perfectly.

    It’s 4.0!!! Considering 5.0 is already being produced I’d say The future is now. These are perfect for new installs where dry/bench test isn’t an option. Also, *for me*, it’s worth not having to build teardown and build again. I used 2 of them in my rig “Big Evil” (accompanied photo).

    The point of using PCI 4.0 riser with PCI 4.0 GPUs is not transfer speed, it’s compatibility, so you won’t have to take your PC apart after BIOS update or to awkwardly assemble it outside the case just to get to the BIOS in case your CPU doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card to do it (and you need to get to the BIOS to downgrade to PCI 3.0 on the GPU to have any image output whatsoever).

    The connectors are a bit bulky, but overall a pretty good riser with quality ribbon cables.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersFirst off: it does in-fact offer PCIe 4.0 speeds with no drop outs or black screen on my x570 MSI Tomahawk + Ryzen 5 5600x. Using 3DMark PCIe test I saw 26.4GB/s in the mobo slot and the riser gave me 26.4GB/s. No loss, all good so far.
    PS. on x570 LEAVE THE PCIe BIOS OPTION ON “AUTO”

    Ok so the less pleasant side. I paid for a 20cm riser and in total the riser is 25cm. The measurement you see on the product page is for THE BLACK CABLE LENGTH ONLY not including the PCIe slots on each end. (I ordered the 90degree ended riser so it’s even longer for the straight end ones)
    It’s actually a good thing since you lose some length having to bend the cable down and around but if you are building a system that requires a specific length and too long is a bad thing then be careful.

    Add 5cm to the size you see before you buy one to save the headache.
    10cm riser is actually 15cm
    15cm riser is actually 20cm
    20cm riser is actually 25cm
    25cm riser is actually 30cm
    30cm riser is actually 35cm

    Other then that, this is a good product. I was skeptical but it does work well and gives me my gen 4 bandwidth I’d get directly from the mobo slot.

Avec le riser d’origine du support, en PCI-e 4.0 j’avais des chutes de fps dans les jeux, normal car il n’tait pas certifi PCI-e 4.0 mais juste 3.0.
    Une fois le riser d’origine remplac par celui-ci, tout fonctionne trs bien, plus de chute de fps, le top!
    Prvoir une longueur du riser un peu plus courte car pour ma part, 20cm aurait largement suffit.

    Funktioniert mit meiner Asus RX 6900XT LC seit zwei Monaten einwandfrei.
    Ich wrde mir bei dem Preis allerdings wnschen das ein Satz Distanz schrauben und Mutter dabei sind.
    Ich musste fr mein Fractal define 7 durch wiederholtes messen mit Distanz Adapter und Scheiben aus dem eigenen Sortiment den Einbau durchfhren.
    Klar ist das define 7 auch nicht auf der compatibility List, aber das Spektrum zu erweitern knnte so einfach sein.
    Preis ist denke ich daher der Menge an Konkurrenz geschuldet (Material und Herstellung rechtfertigen dies sicher nicht) den es gibt schlicht keine anderen PCIe4.0 Kabel.

    200mm(160-180 would be bit more ideal) is a tad long for most vertical mount setups, be very careful when installing not to bend too much or knock out whatever you have plugged in on the bottom of the board. For the price, it would be nice if slot was reinforced with metal.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWorks perfectly with my 3090. I didn’t need a cable this long though. Worth noting that the cable doesn’t bend that easily near the ends because of the red trim. Still works alright with a CoolerMaster V2 vertical bracke

    Funciona perfecto, dando el mismo rendimiento que el puerto PCIe 4.0 directamente. Probado con una RTX 3090 a mximo rendimiento.
    La nica pega que le puedo poner es que el color de los plsticos sea de ese color rojo y que no sean negros, algo que hace que desentone con el resto de componentes.

    Lo recomiendo.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was having issues booting my PC using a Phanteks premium riser cable, I could force PCIe Gen3 and it would work most of the time but occasionally would still refuse to boot.

    After swapping to this cable, I can now boot up in PCIe Gen4 mode and without any issue at all. I have also ran a lot of stress tests in 3DMark without any crashes. 3DMark PCI Feature Test also confirms this delivers the full Gen4 bandwidth as advertised.

    In short, if you have a Gen4 GPU and Motherboard, I would reccomend this.

    This seemed to be the only PCIE4 riser cable I could find. I’m pleased to say it works brilliantly with PCIE4 with no stability issues experienced since purchasing a few months ago. BIOS also correctly reports card running in PCIE4 mode.

    Very happy.

    Ich benutze das Riser-Kabel in meinem PC mit einem ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E Mainboard und einer EVGA RTX 3070 Grafikkarte.
    Da die PCIe 4.0 Spec wohl keine Riser-Kabel vorsieht und es gemischte Meinungen zu dem Produkt gab, war ich skeptisch ob das so funktionieren wird.
    Das Riser Kabel funktioniert allerdings einwandfrei und absolut stabil.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis cable is the perfect solution for those having problems with their new PCIe 4.0 video cards on PCIe 4.0 motherboards. Instead of forcing your motherboard to use PCIe 3.0 as a workaround, simply swap your riser cable with this one.

    Also tested with a Gigabyte RTX3080 graphics card.
    All worked fine ‘out-of-the-box’ so to speak – worked fine with the BIOS PCI-e default set to AUTO (GEN 4.0).

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis PCIe replacement cable works perfectly but do take note they mentioned that the screw holes don’t line up so I just use 3m double-sided tape (industrial grade), two small strips on both ends, and it works just fine.

    Sidenote: I’m not gonna wait for NZXT’s plastic screws or their PCIe riser replacement, the H1 case will be the first and last case I will buy from the company, disappointing they took this long to highlight the fire hazard issue.

    Works perfectly with NZXT H1 Case, replaced it due to the fire hazard.

    I must admit, I was sceptical like many people after seeing how standard PCIe 3.0 risers fail to work with the new PCIe 4.0 standard, but to my great surprise and delight it actually works perfectly. I have an RTX 3090 and a Ryzen 9 5950X, running on an Asus ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming motherboard and GPU-z is reporting that it is running in PCIe 4.0 mode and so far I’ve had no issues whatsoever. Yes it is expensive, but signal integrity in PCIe 4.0 has very slim tolerances so high quality materials must be used to preserve that integrity.

    Actually works as advertised

    [DE] Neuer Rechner, neues Glck.
    System Kurzfassung:
    Gehuse – CoolerMaster SL600m (Kamineffekt)
    VGA – Raden RX 6800 XT
    MB – MSI X570 Unify

    Nachdem ich den Kamineffekt des CoolerMaster SL600m optimal nutzen wollte musste die Grafikkarte natrlich vertikal verbaut werden. Die allgemeinen Rezessionen ber Riserkabel waren allesamt niederschmetternd und ich war mir nicht sicher ob ich es wirklich wagen sollte soviel Geld fr ein Kabel auszugeben. Ein Freund hatte mir dieses hier empfohlen, natrlich eines der teureren Modelle…danke Freund :).
    Zuerst hatte ich das System ohne Riserkabel aufgesetzt um mit 3DMark etc einige Benchmarks zu fahren. Das war fr mich wichtig um zu sehen ob es einen Qualitsverlust geben wrde wenn ich das Riserkabel zwischen Grafikkarte und Mainboard hnge.
    Die Benchmarktests nach dem Einbau waren identisch. Mit der Radeon Software noch ein wenig UV + OC eingestellt und 3D Mark zeigt mir einen “graphics score” von 19.000 Punkten an.
    Fazit: Top Produkt, kein Qualittsverlust gegenber direkten Einbau. Der 90 Winkel erleichtert den Einbau enorm. Der Einzige Abzug ist wegen dem Preis. 70 fr ein Kabel ist ein Ansage. Aber ich bereue den Kauf (bis jetzt) nicht!

    [EN]New PC setup
    System short version:
    Case – CoolerMaster SL600m (chminey effect)
    VGA – Raden RX 6800 XT
    MB – MSI X570 Unify

    Since I wanted to make great use of the CoolerMaster SL600m and the chimney effect, the install of the graphics card had to be vertical. After going through some really bad reviews about Riser cables, I was scared to really buy one. A friend of mine recommended this one, well very expensice one, thanks friend :).
    First I’ve build up the PC from scratch without the Risercable to get some infos from benchmark apps like 3DMark. Reason was to see if there is any loss of quality after I install the Riser cable.
    Benchmark tests after I installed the Riser cable were absolutely identical. After I adjusted some UV+OC settings in the Radeon Software the “graphics score” in 3DMark showed 19.000 points.
    Conclusion: Top product, no loss of quality compared to direct VGA installation. 90 bracket helps a lot while installing the cable. Just the price is the reason to not give 5 stars. So far I don’t have any regrets buying this Riser cable..I hope it stays that way

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersParfait cette Riser rgl mon problem de Riser sur ma config.

    Avec Mon boitier Cooler Master C700P une riser de livrer elle fonctionnais trs bien avec Mon ancienne carte mre encore en PCIe2 + ma RTX3080.
    Aprs avoir fini mon upgrade X570 + Ryzer 5800X impossible de faire dmarr la config Erreur “CMOS VGA 94”.
    Aprs dbug j’ai trouv que la carte mre dtecter automatique que ma carte est un PCIe Gen 4 Mais le cable Riser d’origine tait seulement PCIe Gen3.
    Petite astuce branch la CG sur le dernier port PCIe (PCIe_3 x4) aller dans le Bios et forcer le Gen 3 sur les PCIe_2 et _1. a dpanne en attendant de recevoir a nouvelle Riser.

    Depuis la Rception de ma “LINKUP – Ultra PCIe 4.0 X16 Cble Riser” tous fonctionne j’ai pu repass dans le Bios en PCIe Gen4 . apres plusieurs heure de Benchmark rien signaler.
    Mais attention bien prendre la version “ULTRA” ce n’est pas trs claire mais il y a aussi une version “Extrme” qui est bien moins performante elle est not juste compatible PCie Gen4/3 et pas certifier PCIe Gen4.

    Excellente Riser si vous rechercher une Riser PCIe Gen4 , mais attentio

    Installation couldn’t have been simpler, the flexibility of the cable and separation into multiple bundles makes the impact on cooling lower, and it just works. PCIe 4.0 x16 at 16 GT/s detected and 3d games run smoothly at 60+ FPS with no crashing or instability.

    it works. have not tested with a pcie 4 graphics card (my motherboard does not have pcie 4).
    you might say that i bought this cable for vanity purposes (maybe ironic, if you judge the photos)

    when dealing with high speed signals, get the cable with the best design… this cable might be overkill for pcie 3 but when dealing with high speed signals a well designed cable for extended bandwidth, proper termination, shielding etc is not a bad thing, IMO.
    yes, i think should be half price, and i could have bought the pcie 3.0 cable at that price, but i thought it was too short. it probably would have fit, but with this cable my system has more “airspace”.
